Halle Bailey - For the First Time (From "The Little Mermaid"/Audio Only)

Jodi Benson would be proud, Howard Ashman would be proud

I really love this song

Beautifully sung with intonation and clarity

🤍

This reminds of me of when Jack was in Christmas town for the first time in the nightmare before Christmas. Once again Disney is a genius!

Her voice is so incredibly beautiful. No one else could have played Ariel

Don't care what anyone say..she understood the assignment with this whole movie.

I love this song

Alan Menken is so good at this sort of songs, a moment when the main character doing something for the first time of his/her life. I love the excitement and thrilling vibe, which also seems to align with Alan Menken's own personality😊

This is so Alan Menken song from the interlude! It makes me miss his presence in old days of Disney so much.

I always cry at the "lost for the first time" part. Her voice and emotion are so intense 😢😢

I really hope the rumors are not true about this song not being up for consideration for Best Song at the Oscars!! Halle sang it beautifully! And it was beautiful Written!! I would love to see her perform this live!! ❤

A disney song that is from the 90s thats actually will stick in my head

Yes 🥰

Halles new original somgs for the movie were actually my favorite songs! Theure so beautiful and energetic!!

Honestly, this song fits the movie the best

receive the Lord's love and salvation🩵

From ashoreeeeeee 🎶🥲

I’m glad they added this song. It’s a great addition to the plot so that we aren’t just watching her mute for like 20 minutes. Also, props to Hallie because this song is melodically hard to sing.

AHHH!!! Im OBSESSED with halle
Shes the reason i wanted to actually watch the live action
Shes just...AMAZING!!!!!!!!

Look at the sun and the sky and the sand and
The sea behind me
Look at me, suddenly I am on land, and I'm free
Don't mind me as I
Climb for the first time
Jump for the first time
Trying to stand but this gravity's pulling me down

Look, it's a fire, it's warm and it glows
And it lights this chamber
Let me admire it—, ow, get too close and it bites
I came too close for the first time
Burned for the first time
Everything's clearer and brighter and hotter
But now that I'm here like a fish out of water
I'm trying to stand but this gravity's pulling me down


Are we only food for slaughter
Is this life on land?
Well, you were lonely underwater
Come on, Ariel, time to stand

Squeeze in the shoes and the corset, it's tight
And the seams are bursting
Some women choose this, I guess it's alright
Are my dreams adjusting?

As I wait for the first time
Here for the first time
Now for the first time
He's coming through those doors
Up the stairs
From the shore
From that moment
And he'll smile
Like he knows
When I say—

Realize the price that you paid with your voice
As he turns from you
Those sacrifices you made were a choice
That you can't undo
Lost for the first time
Scared for the first time
Gravity feels like an undertow pulling me down

Gotta give credit to Alan Menken and Lin-Manuel Miranda, they made a brand new score with a new style and theme! And on top of Halle's outstanding singing, it just works!

The stage musical song for this is so much better ("My Wildest Dreams")

Her Voice 🩷 love it!

For the first time I actually like a new song in one of Disney’s live action remakes.

Fantastic movire. So happy it's on Disney + now!

Alan MENKEN Isolated Score For The First Time (Africa Hawaii Drum 🪘)

I really loved this song. The movie was so mid it wasn't funny but this song made me feel something. I saw how Ariel felt: how excited she was to have all these new experiences on land and how scary it was after Eric rejected her.

Beautiful

I haven’t seen this movie yet, but, I have to admit, this song is pretty catchy!


Edit 9/9/23: I just saw this movie a few days ago, and I really liked it! I might see it a second time XD

I don’t think this black fishy is aerial but the song was good

Good point! When I saw the movie in theaters. I thought, so she is singing the lyrics in her head.

Arile was learning about the land

Ariel become a human and he doesn't speak and he was thinking about it

My favorite song from the movie lol

I love musical blend and theatrical touch!

It sounds like sims 3 music mixed with barbie the island princess ost

I thought this news songs were going to be kinda awkward and cringy but speaclly this one adds so much to Ariel's character, it's beautiful and so moving, I love it!

BR só Passando!

i love this song 🥹🥹🥹

Halle for the first time 😂😂😂

I like the additional song from the Broadway Version of The Little Mermaid “Beyond My Wildest Dreams “ much better!!!!

I love you Halle BaileyI love all your songs from the little mermaid in 2023 and I’m watching like 1000 times and your voice is beautiful and I know my mom is wrong favorite airplane so I can meet you and I got an iPhone
